SPS SharePoint HubStrategic Procurement Services (SPS) is pleased to offer a Travel Credit Card (TCard) program effective January 1, 2021.
The TCard program is under the university’s Scotiabank contract and replaced the previous program offered through American Express (AMEX). The TCard program offers more flexibility for travelers, while ensuring proper controls have been put in place to protect both the traveler and the university. Some of the benefits of the TCard program are:
- The university will pay directly to the card provider any travel expenses charged to the TCard that are submitted and approved through an expense claim processed in the ERS.
- Preset credit card limits that allow the employee to travel with ease without having to use their own personal credit for Queen’s business travel.
- Collision/Loss Damage Waiver (CDW/LDW) Insurance for rental vehicles for further financial savings to department and research budgets.
- Synchronization with the Employee Reimbursement System (ERS) for ease of submitting reimbursement claims.
To apply, complete an application form in acQuire – the applicable application can be found in Credit Card Forms on the acQuire main page. A reminder, if you are applying for a TCard and are the Approver for your department, your application will need to be forwarded to your one-over-one approval. In order for applicant to receive their physical TCard, cardholders must complete the mandatory training, and formally sign off on the Cardholder Agreement prior to a TCard being issued to the employee.
